Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
In Line coding, scramblers are used to modify the bit stream before transmission.
A scrambler does not compress or change data content
It randomizes the bit pattern
This helps:
Avoid long runs of 0s or 1s
Improve synchronization
Reduce DC bias in the signal
So the main purpose is to make the signal appear random-like, not predictable.
